Cedar House School, St. Neots by Lorraine Dixon (Member 10273640) on 10-May-2012
I was a day girl at Cedar House from 1964 until it closed. My younger brother was in the Kindergarten. I remember Mrs. Hutton well, was petrified of her. Still have my school reports from there, they never did improve!

What Difference Would Extra Income Make to Your Life ? by David Taylor (Member 10103609) on 31-Dec-2008
Hi

Why not make a new resolution to change your life in 2009. I am looking for people who have experience in the Financial Services, Utilities or Sales Industries. I can offer a good opportunity for those who are prepared to put in effort on a part-time basis with a Footsie 250 Plc company to earn a regular residual income for life.

    Hi, I was at Cedar House from 1957 until 1962. Hated every moment of it. Mrs. Hutton was a bully and we were taught very little that was remotely useful, apart from the constant scrubbing, polishing and cleaning that was all we seemed to do. The food was absolutely foul too. Had nightmares about the place for years. I remember you Sue,(Lee) Kamla Kirpalani, Sevin Hilmi and your name Pamela Peaco... more >>

Yes, the cleaning! It seems like quite a few of... more >>

    Hi Tine, yes I remember when you ran away and got expelled. I seem to remember Penny Foulstone was with you too,. I did so envy you having the courage to run away. I was so unhappy but had no-one to run to so stayed. How has life treated you since then? Hopefully much better. I know my life improved 100% the day I left that dreadful place!

    I remember Fiona Patterson. She came to stay with us one holiday in Mersea. I was at Cedar House from 1965 until the move to Morcott. Have to say I preferred Cedar House to Morcott but maybe I was a bit young to remember much (apart from the freezing cold Big Dorm!!)

    I remember the big tree coming down the night before speach day one year too.
